INFORMATION (4 Pages) MUHARRAM & SAFAR 1441 EVENTS 30th August – 31st October 2019 PLEASE READ IT FOR YOUR FOR ‘FRUITFUL’ MUHARRAM & SAFAR HYDERI MEMBERSHIP

Please remember to renew you Hyderi membership at either desk.

It is important we all pay our membership fees on time. We all take advantage of services offered by Hyderi.

The centre incurs large expenditure in providing these services which include bringing world renowned lecturers, upkeep of the centre, security, Niyaz, wages, etc. Membership fees account for 20-25% of the centre income.

It is important that all those eligible for membership contribute, especially with an increase in programmes at Hyderi over the last six months.

Those not eligible for membership but who are regulars at Hyderi are requested to make a donation of an equivalent sum.

It is not right or fair that Hyderi costs are borne by paying members only. Ladies Majlis Reciters for Ashare Muharram & Zainabiya
